This game's story is believed to take place after ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask]]'', when Zelda sent Link back in time to live out his childhood in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]''.
{{ZD|[https://www.zeldadungeon.net/twilight-princess-walkthrough/ ''Twilight Princess'' Walkthrough]}}
 
'''''The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess''''' (''{{Tt|Towairaito Purinsesu|トワイライトプリンセス}}'') is the 13th installment in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. Set over a century after the events of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'', the game follows [[Link (Twilight Princess)|Link]] as he attempts to save [[Hyrule]] from being subsumed by the [[Twilight Realm]], an alternate dimension wreathed in shadow - along the way, Link is able to transform between the forms of a [[Hylian]] and a [[Wolf Link|wolf]], and is aided by [[Midna]], a mysterious imp native to the Twilight Realm. The game features a notably darker, more realistic art style compared to its predecessor, ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'' - this has been interpreted as a response to the backlash that ''Wind Waker'', particularly in the West, received for its brightly-colored, cel-shaded art style.
 
The game was originally planned to release for the [[Nintendo GameCube]] in 2005, but was delayed so that Nintendo could expand upon the content and create a port for the [[Nintendo Wii]]. The Wii version was released as a launch title in November 2006 in North America, and was released the following month in Japan, Europe, and Australia; the GameCube version was released in December 2006, as the final first-party title on the console. Upon release, ''Twilight Princess'' received critical acclaim and won several Game Of The Year awards, being cited as one of the greatest video games of all time. It is the second-best selling ''Zelda'' game behind ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]'', having sold over 8.85 million copies as of 2015, and the Wii port received a "Nintendo Selects" label in 2011. A remaster of the GameCube version, ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD]]'', was released for the [[Wii U]] in March 2016.


==Story==
==Story==
The story unfolds in [[Ordon Village]], a small farmering town in Southern [[Ordon Province]]. One day a character named [[Rusl]] gets instructions to deliver a gift to the Royal Family of [[Hyrule]], but he offers the job to [[Link]] instead. Link agrees to deliver the gift, and gets ready to leave in two days.  The next day, Link is given a [[Fishing Rod]] and uses it to catch a fish for the cat that wouldn't leave the pond.  He then gets a [[Bottle]] in return.

<!-- insert brief summary here -->
This game's story takes place after the [[Child Ending]] of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', when [[Zelda (Ocarina of Time)|that generation's Princess Zelda]] sent [[Link (Ocarina of Time)|the Hero of Time]] back in time to prevent the events of ''Ocarina of Time'' and allowed him to live out his childhood.


Link saves up money to buy a [[Slingshot]], and then shows the local kids how to use it. After the lesson, Link is given a [[Wooden Sword]], and shows the kids how to use that as well.  This acts as a kind of tutorial to get the player used to using the sword. After that lesson, a monkey comes out of the woods and the kids decide to chase it. Unfortunately, one of the kids ([[Talo]]) and the monkey gets caught in a trap and Link has to go save them.
This generation's Link lives a peaceful life in Ordon Village as a goat herder and animal wrangler. He is a valuable friend to both the village and forest. One day, Link is given the opportunity to visit Castle Town as an envoy to present a specially crafted sword to the royal family. Before Link embarks, however, tragedy strikes the village and he is forced to leave his tranquil life behind. Link must venture forth into the vast land of Hyrule to bring peace back to his village and, along the way, uncover the secret behind the mysterious Twilight.


The next morning, after herding goats,  Link is ready to go. Link's friend [[Ilia]] notices that [[Epona]] is injured and takes her away to [[Ordon Spring]] to heal her. When Link goes to the spring to get her back,  the [[King Bulblin|Bulblin King]] and some [[Bulblin Rider]]s come crashing through the gate.  They kidnap Ilia and the other children, and scare Epona away.  Link is knocked unconscious by a rider, and left there alone.  Link soon wakes up and runs across the bridge towards [[Faron Woods|the woods]].  He is pulled through a newly placed black wall by a [[Twilight Beast]], who drops him when a Triforce Symbol appears on his hand.  Soon after entering the Twilight, Link turns into a wolf and then faints. Link is taken to [[Hyrule Castle]] and imprisoned in the cellars. There, he meets [[Midna]], a mysterious character who doesn't fully reveal who she is and helps Link escape. He finally makes it to the top of the tallest tower, where he meets [[Princess Zelda]] for the first time. She tells him of the recent battle that ensued in Hyrule. [[Zant]], an evil sorcerer, and his Twilight Beasts have killed many soldiers, and how she was forced to surrender.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (トワイライトプリンセス) is the 13th installment in The Legend of Zelda series. Set over a century after the events of Majora's Mask, the game follows Link as he attempts to save Hyrule from being subsumed by the Twilight Realm, an alternate dimension wreathed in shadow - along the way, Link is able to transform between the forms of a Hylian and a wolf, and is aided by Midna, a mysterious imp native to the Twilight Realm. The game features a notably darker, more realistic art style compared to its predecessor, The Wind Waker - this has been interpreted as a response to the backlash that Wind Waker, particularly in the West, received for its brightly-colored, cel-shaded art style.

The game was originally planned to release for the Nintendo GameCube in 2005, but was delayed so that Nintendo could expand upon the content and create a port for the Nintendo Wii. The Wii version was released as a launch title in November 2006 in North America, and was released the following month in Japan, Europe, and Australia; the GameCube version was released in December 2006, as the final first-party title on the console. Upon release, Twilight Princess received critical acclaim and won several Game Of The Year awards, being cited as one of the greatest video games of all time. It is the second-best selling Zelda game behind Breath of the Wild, having sold over 8.85 million copies as of 2015, and the Wii port received a "Nintendo Selects" label in 2011. A remaster of the GameCube version, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD, was released for the Wii U in March 2016.

Before Link embarks, however, tragedy strikes the village and he is forced to leave his tranquil life behind.
